Dci's multiplying now. Been sniffing around for one for a couple of weeks just to hammer for work. Criteria was air con and preferably not much rust and less than 200k mileage. After looking around found a couple of low'ish mileage dci 100's but the sellers were absolute cranks. I dont mind...

The seal on the compressor housing has probably been worn for a while and oil spraying into the inlet on boost. It will probably have been smoking a little on boost which can go un noticed unless yor constantly looking in the rear view mirror, my clio dci was the same - smokey on throttle but...

Find somebody with clip and get it programmed out mate. Job done for good.

Cat will be fine, as the exhaust side is dry. Must have been on its way for a while and good hard rev has pushed it over the edge

I fancy doing a sport replica dci van with a/c, dont tell the mrs this one is supposed to stay stock for work haha. Will keep my eye out for a bulkhead, thinking nice rear seat delete carpet. The boot is choka with my gear for work at the moment in the current one, pop up ladders the lot. Cant...

Take the led out if the full abs setup has been removed, job done.

The eastern circuit actually looks quite good, id be up for it if it was switched about.

Cheers mate (y)the 5gt turbo is mine too, going to recommission it very soon, as have been slacking and its not spun a wheel in 20 months. Cheers mate? I certainly have been down Hartlepool a lot in the last 4 weeks in the new job, its been good to have a ride out. Was sat on the Headlands...

Croft prep on going for 27th May, been a bit slack as a bit on with just starting a new job. First feck up, changed oil and filter for oem elf 5/40, knocked end of number 1 injector and it fell off With 2 trackdays booked just bit the bullet and replaced all for new Magnetti Marelli for...

Had a small issue yesterday, booted it up a slip road and noticed power was down and sounded like a hairdryer under the bonnet..i was expecting the air temp sensor to have popped out but when looking the new boost hose has split at the joint. Cheap thin replica plastic shite ive asked for my...

Turbo is easy enough to swap, you must use a 6 point socket on the nuts though, as very easy to round off which would mean engine out. Pull the pipes off and have a look at it, the turbos are weak sadly and do fail quite often. Its defo runaway though.

The pump does not prime when ignition is first turned on, only on the 2nd turn on stock ecu. I think the injectors can dribble dropping the rail pressure, mine done the lumpy start too. Its just started doing it again, so have ordered 4x new injectors.

Mine done this when an injector was on its way out, needed two turns of the key to make the pump prime on cold start, or would crank forever without starting.

Check the turbo has not decided to dump a load of oil into the inlet

If both or all 4 calipers are dragging, and the pistons are free id be looking at the master cylinder. Ive had a faulty master make all 4 calipers stick on after a couple of month layup on my old R5gtt, no idea why i think it was due to age. Clio’s not the newest car now so getting to that age...

Look fine to me mate, the ones to avoid in my eyes are the well used tyres with a good jagged edge and near the wear bar. Will you get away with 50 profile? The sidewall and tread compared to normal tyres is quite beefy.

From memory mine were medium compound, 2x trackdays and a handful of road miles and they were under the wear markers, still did not notice a drop off in performance. My mate had a set of medium/hard a048s on his megane which suffered though after a couple of trackdays and once on the wear marker...

They are a bit skitty in the wet on the roads, but fine if driving to suit the conditions. Epic tyres, best semi slick i have used, a lot better than R888/R888R.

Well worth fixing if the rest of the car is decent and the engine is good apart from fuel system. Even if you spend just under a grand getting it right, it will most likely run fine until the car falls to bits, and a grand will only get another cheap car which probably will need repairs.

Definitely do waterpump, if it fails in the future its the same job again. Got mine done fairly easy by lifting the engine up and down on the jack from memory.

Depends what mintex pads you are using i guess, im trying a set of m1177 at Croft at the end of the month, endurance compound.

Cheapo sds if for occasional use. I bought a Titan 240v sds from screwdix for £40 ish and i have absolutely abused it demolishing things with the chisel on and it refuses to die, perfect for the diy’er or weekend warrior. 1/2” impact gun best bet is Dewalt dcf899p2. As much poke as the...

Rb looks clean (y)

Sound i already have the deep drive set from Halfords so should be ok. Not looking forward to it tbh, if any snap its hassle :cautious:

Check the aux pulley is in good nick on the crank and the cam/crank oil seals, so you wont need to revisit. Need to do the glowplugs on my dci as its a bit moody on idle when cold, what socket did you use to do yours, as i believe they need a thin wall deep drive socket

Same price too, im still tempted to buy a set :LOL:

Speedline do the et38 in anthracite now as made some enquiries when ordering stickers recently, i nearly bought a set for my dci had to bite my tongue when on the phone!

15x7 et38.

Converting the current dci to van is an option to be fair. Ive been looking at the later campus vans and they are euro4 but still £140 a year tax, so not as cheap as the cars.

Im sure i seen this at Croft last week on Good Friday, looked like the same car as 3 holes in numberplate recess. Still very clean could not tell any accident damage.
